Sunrise™ EHR integration with interoperability platform and QHIN to improve data exchange for clinicians and users
NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. and CORAL GABLES, Fla. – June 10, 2025 – Altera Digital Health, a global health IT leader, today announced a strategic partnership with Health Gorilla, a leading national interoperability platform and Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN) delivering real-time, structured, AI-ready health data. The collaboration will enable seamless data exchange across care settings, giving clinicians faster, more complete access to actionable patient data.
Through the partnership, Altera will integrate Health Gorilla’s national interoperability network into its Sunrise electronic health record (EHR) platform for mid-size hospitals and health systems. This will enable Sunrise clients to access longitudinal patient records—including labs, encounters, medications, and social determinants of health details—directly within their existing EHR workflows, enabling faster, better-informed clinical decisions without the need for manual data gathering or outside portals.
“This partnership is about clearing a path to better care,” said Jay Adams, Executive Vice President, Sunrise, Altera Digital Health. “It’s not just about interoperability for its own sake—it’s about removing the barriers that slow clinicians down. Our work with Health Gorilla is a direct investment in reducing friction, surfacing meaningful data and giving providers the tools they need to make clinical decisions with confidence.”
With this integration, Altera joins a growing network of Health Gorilla-connected EHR vendors, including MEDITECH, MEDHOST, Resmed and Canvas Medical. The expanded connectivity that comes through this partnership will allow Altera clients to securely exchange health data across a broad and diverse healthcare ecosystem. The partnership will also support Altera clients in meeting federal interoperability mandates and enable deeper participation in value-based care initiatives by improving access to holistic, real-time patient information.
“Providers still struggle with fragmented data that slows down care and burdens decision-making,” said Bob Watson, CEO of Health Gorilla. “By embedding our QHIN-enabled connectivity into the Sunrise EHR, Altera is taking a significant step toward making comprehensive health data securely available at the point of care—supporting faster, more accurate decisions and better-coordinated outcomes.”

Class action lawsuit recovery services to streamline filing for hospitals and providers
Niagara Falls, N.Y. — June 4, 2025 — Altera Digital Health, a global healthcare IT leader, today announced it has entered into an agreement with Managed Care Advisory Group, Inc. (MCAG), one of the largest revenue recovery consulting firms, to bring MCAG’s class action lawsuit recovery services to hospitals and providers. MCAG will help eligible healthcare parties navigate the claims filing process and recover funds from class action lawsuit settlements, including the $2.8 billion Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) provider settlement. Eligible healthcare providers will be required to enter into an agreement with MCAG (which includes a contingent fee) to obtain this service.
While eligible individuals and organizations can submit class action settlement claims directly, providers and small/medium-sized hospitals often lack the time, resources and in-house experience to effectively manage intensive claims processes. MCAG has helped fill these gaps for approximately 1,400 hospitals, recovering more than $500 million in funds by preparing required documentation and working with settlement administrators to reconcile and allocate appropriate settlement distributions. With a settlement claims period spanning July 2008–October 2024, the BCBS class action lawsuit exemplifies the level of complexity MCAG is prepared to handle on behalf of healthcare clients.
“No healthcare provider should be denied damages they’re rightfully owed due to the immense administrative burdens that class action lawsuit filing places on class members,” said Jonathan Gadd, EVP, Business Development, MCAG. “We look forward to working with Altera’s clients, doing the heavy lifting for them and streamlining all stages of filing so they can focus on patients, not paperwork and processes.”
Altera provides clinical, interoperability, financial and operational health IT solutions to a variety of stakeholders including mid-size hospitals and health systems with Sunrise™; rural, critical access and community hospitals with Paragon® Denali; and independent provider practices with TouchWorks® EHR. In addition to these solutions, Altera offers cloud hosting, technical support and managed services that enable healthcare organizations of all sizes to drive better experiences for their clinicians, staff members and the patients they serve.
“At Altera Digital Health, we endeavor to be true partners to our clients, and that includes connecting them with third-party experts and solutions that can further support their strategic goals and financial wellbeing,” said Marcus Perez, President, Altera Digital Health. “Providers deserve to be paid fully for the essential care they provide. Our relationship with MCAG will help them to recover what they’re owed without straining their time, resources or staff.”
Eligible Altera clients, hospitals and providers interested in working with MCAG to file a claim in the BCBS class action lawsuit ahead of the July 29, 2025, filing deadline can learn more here.

Australia, May 2025 – Altera Digital Health is proud to announce the successful activation of its integrated operating theatre system at Latrobe Regional Health (LRH), one of the hospital members of Gippsland Health Alliance (GHA). GHA has been leveraging Sunrise as its enterprise-wide electronic health record (EHR) platform, utilising Microsoft Azure to enhance interoperability, security, and scalability across its network.
As part of its ongoing digital transformation, GHA has now implemented an anaesthesia information management system (AIMS) platform called Provation® iPro to integrate with Sunrise at LRH. This milestone deployment of Sunrise Surgical Care and Provation iPro AIMS streamlines theatre management and clinical documentation, enabling efficient surgical scheduling and ensuring a seamless patient experience with a single clinical record from pre-admission to discharge.
A Streamlined Approach to Theatre Management
The successful deployment of Sunrise Surgical Care at LRH marks the first implementation of this advanced surgical management solution in Australia. Fully integrated with Sunrise EHR, Sunrise Surgical Care enhances efficiency by enabling real-time tracking of theatre utilisation, optimised scheduling, and improved resource allocation. This implementation reinforces LRH’s commitment to delivering high-quality, patient-centric care by reducing administrative burdens and ensuring timely access to critical surgical data.
Sunrise Surgical Care also plays a key role in supporting a continuous, single patient record from perioperative care to discharge. By providing clinicians with a comprehensive view of each patient’s surgical journey, the system strengthens communication between healthcare providers and enhances patient safety and outcomes.
Additionally, the deployment of the Provation iPro AIMS platform spans 12 operating theatres and 18 Post-Anaesthetic Care Unit (PACU) beds at LRH. Designed by practicing anaesthetists, Provation iPro streamlines electronic anaesthesia documentation throughout the entire perioperative encounter, standardises the collection of quality measures, and even streamlines billing processes.
Provation iPro’s integration with Sunrise Surgical Care creates a seamless user experience, eliminating manual, redundant data entry. With this technology, Pre-Admissions clinics have transitioned from paper to digital records, populating data from Pre-Admission assessments into the day-of-surgery record, streamlining the theatre admission process.
Provation iPro’s autovitals feature wirelessly streams patient vitals from anaesthesia monitor machines directly into the clinical record. With this, alongside a number of other thoughtful features, including picture-documentation, pre-filled procedure templates, and hard-stops, providers can refocus their attention on the patient while simultaneously producing a more complete, compliant, legible anaesthesia record.
Unlike traditional paper systems, these digital records can now be accessed and viewed by multiple clinicians across multiple locations simultaneously, enhancing collaboration and ensuring all relevant information is available in real time.
To keep families informed, LRH has introduced a “Patient Procedure Tracker” board in waiting areas, providing real-time updates on which stage of the theatre journey their loved one is in — whether they are in pre-op, surgery, or recovery. This helps reduce uncertainty and minimises the need for calls to reception.
Advancing Digital Transformation in Healthcare
Latrobe Regional Health’s adoption of this operating theatre system marks a significant step in its digital transformation journey. By leveraging advanced clinical technology, LRH is setting a new standard for theatre efficiency, patient management, and operational effectiveness.
Jon Millar, Chief Operating Officer at LRH, added, “This deployment at LRH showcases our strong partnership with Altera. Leveraging this technology enhances patient experiences and ensures seamless care delivery across our facility. Performing more than 10,000 surgical procedures per year, LRH is utilising this system to enhance efficiency, streamline workflows, and improve patient care. The ability to maintain a single clinical record from pre-admission to discharge is a game-changer for both staff and patients.”
Todd Haebich, EVP, APAC at Altera Digital Health, shared, “The successful activation of Sunrise Surgical Care and Provation iPro at Latrobe Regional Health is a significant milestone for Altera, Provation, and Gippsland Health Alliance. By equipping healthcare facilities with advanced tools, we empower clinicians to enhance patient care while optimising workflows. This deployment highlights our ongoing commitment to supporting digital innovation in healthcare.”
Enhancing Patient Care Through Integration
This launch aligns with the recent $223.5 million expansion of Latrobe Regional Health in Traralgon, which has significantly increased the hospital’s capacity and services. With this multi-stage project now complete, local families can access world-class care closer to home, further strengthening the impact of Sunrise Surgical Care and Provation iPro in delivering high-quality patient outcomes.
For clinicians, these systems reduce the need for manual data entry, produce legible, complete anaesthesia records, minimise duplication of records, and enhance visibility into real-time theatre utilisation. These efficiencies contribute to better resource planning, fewer delays, and improved surgical outcomes.
Commitment to Innovation and Excellence
This deployment reinforces Altera’s commitment to supporting healthcare innovation across the region, ensuring that hospitals and clinicians have the tools they need to deliver exceptional care now and into the future.

- 5 times the size of Texas
- Larger than any U.S. state except for Alaska
Despite its vast geographical expanse, South Australia has a low population density of approximately 1.7 people per square kilometer, presenting unique challenges in delivering consistent, high-quality healthcare across remote, rural, and metropolitan areas. The activation of Sunrise EMR ensures that no matter where a patient receives care—whether in the heart of Adelaide or a regional hospital hundreds of kilometers away—their medical information is instantly available to clinicians.
Key Benefits of a Statewide EMR
The activation of Sunrise EMR eliminates paper-based processes and integrates real-time patient information, enabling healthcare professionals to make faster, data-driven clinical decisions.
- A single, continuous patient record across all SA public hospitals, ensuring seamless care transitions.
- Real-time access to clinical information, reducing duplication of tests and improving patient safety.
- Integrated workflows that streamline hospital operations and support better resource management.
- Enhanced communication between care teams, ensuring coordinated treatment and improved patient experiences.
A Milestone in South Australia’s Digital Health Strategy
This statewide activation aligns with South Australia’s long-term digital health strategy, which aims to modernise hospital systems and improve patient outcomes through advanced technology. By implementing Sunrise EMR, SA Health is future-proofing its healthcare infrastructure, ensuring that clinicians have the right information at the right time to deliver high-quality, patient-centric care.
Demonstrating System Utilisation
The Sunrise EMR system is already making a significant impact across South Australia’s public health network:
- 5 million+ people have a Sunrise electronic medical record, ensuring continuity of care across the state.
- Over 18 million inpatient, outpatient, and emergency department (ED) encounters have been recorded in the system.
- More than 4,900 hospital beds across South Australia are managed within Sunrise.
- On average, 9,300+ concurrent users access the system at any given time, supporting real-time clinical decision-making.
- 921,687 patients have attended multiple Sunrise-enabled sites, demonstrating the system’s effectiveness in linking care across different locations.
Commitment to Innovation and Excellence
Altera Digital Health has been a part of South Australia’s digital healthcare journey, supporting the rollout of Sunrise EMR with dedicated implementation, training, and support.
Todd Haebich, EVP, APAC at Altera Digital Health, shared, “The successful activation of Sunrise EMR across all SA public hospitals is a testament to our strong partnership with SA Health. By leveraging the power of a unified, real-time electronic medical record, we are helping to drive meaningful improvements in patient care, operational efficiency, and clinical collaboration throughout the state.”
Looking Ahead
With Sunrise EMR now fully deployed across South Australia’s public hospitals and health services, including in the regions, the focus will shift towards optimising its use and expanding digital health initiatives to further enhance care delivery. SA Health and Altera Digital Health remain committed to leveraging healthcare technology to improve patient outcomes for all South Australians

AI integration to reduce documentation burdens for providers, enhance interactions with patients
NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. – April 17, 2025 – Altera Digital Health, a global health IT leader, today announced that Nabla’s ambient artificial intelligence (AI) assistant for clinicians is now generally available for Paragon® Denali clients. The integration will enable rural, critical access and community hospitals leveraging the cloud-native Paragon Denali electronic health record (EHR) platform to relieve administrative burden and may save providers two hours of clinical note authoring per day on average.
Regardless of specialty or practice area, physicians spend an average of 15.5 hours each week on paperwork and administrative tasks. Nine of those hours are dedicated solely to electronic health record (EHR) documentation. This pulls clinicians away from direct patient care and adds nearly six hours a week to their “pajama time,” which refers to time spent on administrative work after hours and on weekends.
Supporting more than 55 specialties, the Nabla API offers a full suite of capabilities including transcription, note generation, creation of patient instructions, extraction of structured medical data and dictation support, covering more than 35 languages. Clinicians using Nabla may save up to two hours per day on documentation, freeing up time for direct patient care. Paragon Denali clients leveraging the Nabla integration can automatically generate clinical notes within native EHR workflows in approximately five seconds, saving busy providers time, clicks and keystrokes. Clinicians can also choose from multiple note templates and set up specific configurations to have Nabla naturally adapt to their documentation styles and preferences. By reducing documentation time, the integration enables providers to see more patients and spend less time focused on technology during clinical encounters, resulting in more meaningful interactions and improved patient access to care.
“Altera’s ambient listening is not just innovative, it is going to be a necessity to improve patient care, quality, efficiency and flow,” said Kyle Kellum, CEO of Jennie M. Melham Memorial Medical Center, a Paragon client since 2009. “Ambient listening is something every clinic should consider to help drive operational sustainability.”
Altera made Paragon Denali generally available in late 2024 and is currently working with several community hospital clients to implement the EHR, built in the Microsoft Azure cloud platform. Due to Paragon Denali’s containerized services architecture and software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, clients will be able to adopt new innovations like Nabla faster, with minimal downtime and fewer disruptions to patient care and operations.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Altera to bring the power of ambient AI to the clinicians they support,” said Delphine Groll, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, Nabla. “Altera’s commitment to critical access hospitals and underserved communities through the Paragon Denali EHR aligns deeply with our mission—together, we’re putting AI-powered clinical documentation into the hands of providers who need it most, reducing administrative burden so they can focus more on patient care.”
“Hospitals with limited budgets and resources still face the same industry-wide pressures to improve patient outcomes and reduce provider burnout,” said Nikhil Bhatia, Vice President, Paragon Solution Management, Altera Digital Health. “Paragon Denali’s integration with Nabla not only provides an innovative way to address longstanding challenges, but it is also a powerful testament to Altera’s overall vision to enable providers, empower patients and transform healthcare organizations.”

The Clinical Health Psychology team (“Psychology”) at Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (LHCH) has extended, digitised and integrated its service into its established trust-wide EPR. This digital change is enabling a patients’ psychological care to be documented alongside medical care for a fuller record.
The innovation is releasing considerable and far-ranging benefits, such as streamlined processes, time savings, improved communication and care co-ordination, and enhanced patient safety.
Discussing the difference the system is making, Dr Alexandra Boughey, Principal Clinical Psychologist – Cystic Fibrosis Service and Operational Lead, said: “With our patient’s psychological notes now managed on the EPR and integrated with the patient’s full medical record, we can set up a team of specific users that have access to view the psychological notes.”
“We’re saving so much time from being able to input our notes directly into the system and automatically sharing with the multi-disciplinary team (MDT). It’s been game changing, when you consider how time consuming the process was before. Previously, we would have to make notes on paper, transcribe them into word documents, file the document, and email/visit the wards to update the MDT with our recommendations.”
Psychology set out to deliver their service using one digital system which could manage a unified patient record, to better support the team and patient care. To be effective, they needed a flexible solution that was capable of making notes available or confidential to other members of the MDT. This was crucial functionality given the confidential nature of psychology case notes and being able to maintain a patient’s privacy wishes, if required.
The Trust decided to utilise its existing Sunrise™ EPR system provided by Altera Digital Health. In a matter of months, Psychology, Altera and the trust’s digital team worked together to configure the system to meet the unique needs of the psychology service. Today, the service is using the system to manage patient questionnaires, appointments, referrals, discharges and communicate with the MDT.
Sunrise™ is also facilitating the collection of meaningful data to monitor and report on specific psychology key performance indicators (KPIs), which differ hugely to medical KPIs.
With all patient data together in one place, in real-time, it’s providing staff with a fuller picture of a patient, supporting all members of the MDT to make more informed care decisions at the point of care.
Paula Dyce, Advanced Nurse Practitioner – CF Diabetes, commented: “Since being able to have Psychology on our EPR system it has helped us improve patient care and communication across professionals. It has streamlined the link between physical health and mental health appointments.”
LHCH manages a lot of critically unwell patients and nearly 130,000 patient visits every year. This makes the service that the Psychology team provides to the Intensive Therapy Unit (ITU) vital. The increased risks to patients cared for in the ITU makes an integrated system even more important, supporting the team to manage escalations and monitor patients more effectively with accessible notes and alerts for patients that require mental health support. The risk of losing paper notes and electronic files has also decreased which is contributing to enhanced patient safety.
Prior to the Psychology digitisation, the EPR was already enabling the trust to be 99.9% paperless and complete all clinical documentation, order communications and prescribing. The integrated EPR has supported the LHCH’s digital transformation, enabling it to receive an ‘Outstanding’ CQC rating twice and achieve HIMSS EMRAM Stage 7 in its latest digital maturity assessment.
Rachael Fox, Executive Vice President, UK & EMEA, Altera Digital Health, said: “This latest digital transformation is a fantastic addition to Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust’s exemplary digital journey so far. They are leading the way as digital-first trust and showcasing how it can support outstanding service delivery.”
